The funny thing, Steeler haters, is that this was his first personal foul penalty in 16 games. Yes haters, 16 games. Check for yourself. Now tell me how that should be a suspension. If anyone else in the league did that they would have been flagged and fined, but not him, no sir. So if you have a past history of hard hits but haven't done anything wrong in 16 games how is it fair you would get a suspension. Hmmmmmm. They do target the Steelers because they have always been a hard hitting team and thankfully always will be. I see illegal hits all the time while watching my NFL Sunday Ticket every week. Hell, half don't get flagged and most don't get fined. Tell me how it is for safety, uh, no I don't think so. If it is for safety how is it that a helmet to helmet hit on a running back carrying the ball is okey dokey but god forbid you do it to a receiver or QB. So that being said how would that be in the name of safety. It's not. It is Goodell and his tinky winky trying to show people he is the big boss man. Sure wish the old commish was still around. Nonetheless, 10-3 baby and looking for more. HERE WE GO STEELERS HERE WE GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is very simple...if you are a defensive player and you lead with your helmet to make a hit on the offensive player...you will get fined. Then when the league is tired of fining...like in the Harrison case...they will suspend you. How many times has he been fined for the same thing.....suspension was deserved in this case.

I got through halfway thru the 2nd sentence in this "whine and cheese" rant, and I said to myself.... "must be a Steelers "nut hugger".........

I am not a Steelers hater, I just call it like I see it. Like it or not, your team was the ONLY team that needed 16 variations of wins and losses from certain teams in the final week of the regular season back a few years ago to make the playoffs. The Steelers got every break in the book, (Not to mention the 2005 Super Bowl), and MADE THE POST SEASON.

Just face the facts, James Harrison is about as much of an idiot as Ndamukong Suh in having "knowledge" of how to play the game of football.

Anyone that says James Harrison doesn't know how to play football is clearly an idiot. The fact is, he is true blue tough *** football player. They have changed the game such that you only have about a 1 foot area where you can hit the quarterback. He was taught to tackle the way he does and for the speed of the game, it is difficult to change "in the moment" reactions. Some of his hits have been illegal and should be fine. THere are some he got fined for that I clearly didn't see how it was his fault due to the offensive player moving upon impending impact.

By the way, I personally liked the hit on McCoy. He will never forget that. lol

If you don't like it, stop watching. The only reason the rules were changed is because of the lawsuit that is coming from former NFL players on concussions. The league is about as hypocritcal as it gets. They want to reduce contact but wanted to add 2 games to the schedule.

Either way, James harrison isn't going to change so you need to deal with it. Watch other games and you will see the same type hits go unnoticed, not penalized and certainly not fined. Guaranteed!

Think about it, everyone here is complaining about the hit that James Harrison laid on Colt McCoy. From an offensive POV, a player that comes to mind (and think back in the beginning of the season when he had his "meetings" with Roger Goodell), is Michael Vick.

Once he was hit and out for a bit, the next time he came back, and ANY time he was REMOTELY CLOSE to being hit AFTER a pass...... it was called "roughing the quarterback". Even if the ball just left a second before the hit by the defensive player. The referees were still calling ticky tack "roughing the quarterback" calls to SAVE players @sses.

Furthermore, I have a friend who complains about the violence not being allowed in the NFL and all of the rule changes to make it flag football. Instead of complaining, I have a simple solution.....
